To our That Was Us community, we hope that you are safe and well.

The recent fires in Los Angeles County have been devastating,

and our hearts go out to everyone affected,

including our friend and partner in this podcast, Mandy Moore.

We wanted to explain that Mandy recorded the intro to this episode with Sid before the wildfires occurred.

and links pinned to our Instagram page, and that was us. If you've been affected by the fires,

we are sending you strength and resilience. Our hearts are with you. To the firefighters and first responders working

tirelessly around the clock, thank you. God bless. We are extending our hiatus one more week

through This Is Us together. Until then, be safe, be well, we love you all. Also, just this morning,

Sign up to become an Airbnb.org host or make a donation to Airbnb.org.

100% of the proceeds will go towards connecting people to free housing.

In addition to donations, spreading the word is just as important.

We would love it if any of our listeners,
